Are we allowed to organise a cruise up this way? Or does it have to be down there?

As i've said to strutto, after drag combay (probably fortnight after) we are organising a big meet like the one last year where we had 35 skyrices turn up :P

Lets aim for more eh?

Kudos to strutto for organising a great run. heaps of great looking 'lines, even though we got left behind in the mad rush to the top of the mountain, thanks James for coming back and showing us the way down, James mentioned he was going to be "taking it easy" on the way down, YEAH RIGHT :P !

Got some good pics, just having a bit of trouble figuring out how to upload them here, once I do I'll post here so you all can have a squiz.

NismoGirl I am sure we could top 35, if the 20 or so that made it down plus anyone from the northside came, that would be a great turnout!

Yeah guys I had fun fisrt time I had been out on a cruise since I lost my licence,

Thanks heaps predator for letting me tag along with you. Your a champ.

And everyone else for not even replying to me ha ha its all good.

Hopefully next one i will have my car back.

Hope to see some pics also.

Cyas :P

arh ****, i jsut wrote a huge reply and it stuffed up.

congrants to the organises and everyone that came.

next time, we shoudl bring cb's and stuff so that nobody gets lost. and waiting at the next turn for the rest to catch up. but i didnt have a problem keeping up. was very fun, glad to come on many more cruises.

good to see the gold coast side of people getting bigger.

i reckon if we can get a huge cruise, it would be awesome to get a pic of everyone's rear parker lights in a line of about 40 cars.

Overslept, late for work, Black friday not going so well. On the other hand I had a great time last night, :headbang: first time I've been to one of your get togethers. Kudos to Strutto for organising it.

I turned around because my front right wheel was making some not cool sounds whenever I hit a slightly larger bump. Awesome to put names (and cars) to faces. Looking foward to the next one allready. And nismogirl, what me? drive fast? :innocent: . I'll have to meet you next time you're out.

Well I got this shot but only of the last group of 8 that got left behind, as we had a smoke stop at the top, looks nice, but you can only really make out the first three cars, then it just gets too dark, maybe if everyone had their brakes on, maybe, all good thoughts for next time :)

Was an excellent turn out and good to match some names up...

The sight coming down the hill from bp as we left was crazy, skylines all the way down...

Some of the overtaking methods when we ran into traffic on the mountain were ummmmm'interesting' lol

Was a good run even though we got split up a bit...

I shat my pants when i was catching up after some traffic and did a 180 on a t intersection during the rain, only to look in my rear view and see Aaron do a full 360 lmao that was some slippery ass road there!

yhea was a great turn out. I headed into the city after woulds, and just woke up now. my lines out the front and I dont know what the **** happened, or how I got home. I didnt drive thats for sure.

but yeah great to meet some of the people on this site, it was well worth the drive down, until we got seperated >=[ Have to have a brissy cruise next time.

Yeah, was a good turnout. Wish I had the luxury of just getting out of bed, didn't get home till about 12:30ish and have already finished work, just walked in the door. Nothing that an afternoon snooze won't fix. Don't know when I will be able to attend again, I will be very busy from here on in especially during the week.

Yup.. great night. Good to finally meet some QLD dudes - didn't get to find out who everybody was, but I'm sure over the next few events will get to know some people a bit more.

Some hardcore mountain running which was good, and nobody came acroppa so even better :)

Those from Brisbane should'a come down.. 30mins or so from Brisbane is hardly far, and its just off the M1 anywayz. Was easily worth the trip.

Pity I forgot my digi camera at the last minute.. stupid me.

GO TEAM //GC .. even though i don't live there! lol, although actually i am technically "north" of the goldcoast :(

Wrong James, James...

 

Erin is talking about BelGarion aka James aka got a slow car but it goes real fast aka I can drive faster than everyone...

 

Glad everyone had a good time...

Ahh, That explains it. I thought that was weird seeing as I don't know erin.

also sent pm.

Well I have uploaded some pics, but now it seems I cant, I keep getting an erro when I try, so enjoy the first couple here:

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
